Most would consider this old world influence, but I desire to raise our children under the <i>authority</i> &amp; <i>holiness</i> of God! Not only was did she know how to spend time with each child daily, but she was a dedicated homeschooling Mother whom started "training" on the day of their 5th Birthday. She made sure they were well versed in English, Latin, Greek &amp; possibly even French.

She was a <b><i>run-away nun</i></b> who set out to marry Luther. She was inspired by his piety and courage. She was an excellent manager of the home, and even turned part of their home, his old monastery into a hospital. She supported her Husband in his work from God, and was his constant encourager.<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Katarina upheld the finances &amp; affairs of the family which helped Luther maintain his commitment and call to resound the true Gospel of Christ. Luther was often away on ministry tours &amp; once both celibate, wrote of his marriage saying,<b><i> </i></b></span><b><i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">"There is no bond on earth so sweet, nor any separation so bitter, as that which occurs in a good marriage." </span></i></b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Luther had nicknamed Katarina, the <i>"morningstar of Wittenberg"</i>, on behalf of her rising each morning at 4am, tending to her many wifely which included their lush gardens, orchards &amp; livestock, which she would butcher herself.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">So talking about these two fiery, well-versed ladies, my heart has been stirred even more to fulfill this holy calling that parenthood is!

After listening to one of his messages, I was heart-broken at the Godly truth in what he was speaking and hooked at the same time! He's got some crazy amazing quotes that I just can't turn my back on. It's the kind where it hits you straight in the gut and you buckle over in anguish, and then you just lie there thinking about what just has happened. So the following is a quote from Leonard Ravenhill that i've done some biblical research to verify that this claim is absolutely true.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">{The early church was married to poverty, prisons and persecutions. Today, the church is married to prosperity, personality, and popularity.}</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Matthew 5:1-11</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">1 And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. 2 Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying: 3 “ Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God. 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Matthew 6:24</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Matthew 4:1-11</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. 3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’” 5 Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘ He shall give His angels charge over you, and,‘ In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’” 7 Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the LORD your God.’” 8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.’” 11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Luke 21:34-36</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">34 “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">John 15:18-21</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1 Corinthians 4:9-13</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">9 For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men. 10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored! 11 To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are poorly clothed, and beaten, and homeless. 12 And we labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure; 13 being defamed, we entreat. We have been made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things until now.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I had a friend respond to Leonard's quote saying, "We just need to be married to Jesus." I concured with her statement, saying, "However, the only problem with that is, the Church IS sleeping." The following scriptures are evidence of this...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Revelation 22:16-18</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.... Read More</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Matthew 25</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">1 “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.6 “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming;[a] go out to meet him!’ 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to ... Read Morethose who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">11 “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ 12 But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">13 “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour[b] in which the Son of Man is coming.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ephesians 5:13-15</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">13 But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. 14 Therefore He says: “ Awake, you who sleep,Arise from the dead,And Christ will give you light.”</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">15 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1 Corinthians 15:30-35</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">30 And why do we stand in jeopardy every hour? 31 I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. 32 If, in the manner of men, I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? If the dead do not rise, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”33 Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.” 34 Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Romans 13:11-12</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">11 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand.</span><br /><br />I hope this has stricken your heart as much as it has mine. I hope this stirs you to prayer.<br /><br />I will leave you with this-<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1 Thessalonians 5:16-18</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.</span><br /><br />And as Leonard Ravenhill once said-<br /><br />No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. The pulpit can be a shop window to display one's talents; the prayer closet allows no showing off.Lael Gielowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16543520849383989340noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750220516092034517.post-63368294433081968592009-07-29T22:04:00.000-07:002009-07-29T22:06:32.252-07:00{National Health Care Plan-E-V-I-L}<span id="ctlContentModules"><span id="_ctl6_ctlDocumentContents"><span style=";font-family:Tahoma;font-size:36;" ><b>SPECIAL BULLETIN</b></span><br /><br /><br /> <span style="font-size:24;"><b><i>NATIONAL HEALTH SCARE</i></b></span><br /><br /> <span style="font-size:10;"><b>By Rick Joyner</b></span><br /><br /><br /> <span style="font-size:10;"> When I read the brief on what was contained in the National Health Care bill that is now being presented before Congress, I could not believe I was reading something that was actually being considered in the United States of America. This is not about money or government mismanagement—this is about something far more diabolical than that. As incomprehensible as it may seem, this is about euthanasia, the power to determine who lives or dies in America. Hitler and Stalin would have loved to have had a means such as this for dispatching the millions they killed—it would have made their job much easier, and probably given them the ability to kill many more than they did. THIS BILL IS THAT SINISTER. This is not a joke—this is actually the nature of what is being proposed in the National Health Care legislation, and it is the obvious reason why the Obama Administration wants to ram it through Congress before anyone gets a chance to read it.</span><br /><br /> <span style="font-size:10;"> I have resolved to always be as generous as I can toward people with opposing views of my own. I do this because I believe it is the mandate of I Corinthians 13 to always believe the best about people, rather than the worst. I know this opens me up to be misled by some, but I consider that a small price to pay to not become cynical. I also do it because I think it is wise to always try and understand the position of my opponents—to be open to consider their positions and not be too rigid or inflexible to change because we all “see in part,” and “know in part.” Because of this, I have been chided for being too generous by giving those I do challenge grace by believing that they had not thought through the consequences of their proposals, or had other good intentioned reasons for doing what they were doing. However, after reading the brief on this health care bill, I don’t see how anyone could not see that there is profound evil and evil intent at work here. I just do not see any way to be any more generous with those who proposed this bill than that. It is that bad. </span><br /><br /> <span style="font-size:10;"> This bill is obviously designed to put the authority to determine who lives and dies in America into the hands of government bureaucrats. As outrageous as that seems, it is true—you can read it yourself. It even gives the government access to all of your accounts, and the authority to make withdrawals. I know this is hard to believe, but you can read it yourself.</span><br /><br /> <span style="font-size:10;">Do you want a government bureaucrat to determine if your mother or father can receive treatment, even in life and death cases? Would you want a government bureaucrat to determine if your child, or you, could receive treatment, even when it means life or death? Think of the best experience that you ever had working with a government bureaucrat, and then think about them having the power to make a potentially life or death choice for your child, your parents, or for you. This is actually what is being proposed. </span><br /><br /> <span style="font-size:10;">Add to that chilling thought the fact that this bureaucrat does not have to know one thing about medicine to be in that position. In fact, this bill proposes letting the government define what quality health care is and impose that definition on health care workers. Nowhere does it even specify what training, expertise, or qualifications this all-powerful government bureaucrat has to have to be placed in the position to make such ultimate decisions for the health, well-being, and even the lives of Americans. </span><br /><br /> <span style="font-size:10;">Am I being too hard on bureaucrats, or the Obama Administration’s intentions? Certainly there are many bureaucrats who are sincere and true public servants. I agree that such are deserving of our appreciation and respect. The modern world could not exist without them. Think of the most noble and conscientious there are. What kind of position would we be putting them in to have to go to work every day and decide who is going to get treatment, who is going to have to go on a waiting list and for how long, and who are they going to have to just let die?</span><br /><br /> <span style="font-size:10;">Who could live with such a job? There are many who could, who would just see it as paperwork, and those are the ones who would be in that position because the truly noble ones could not endure it. Hitler found many who could dispatch thousands each day, and then go home and enjoy their own families at night. There are people with that kind of moral disconnect. These jobs will be filled and by the very ones we would never want in such positions. </span><br /><br /> <span style="font-size:10;">It is beyond anything I thought I would ever see in my lifetime that such a bill could ever be seriously considered in the U.S. Congress. This bill has the potential for totalitarian control to be imposed on America to a degree that Hitler and Stalin could not have even imagined. With the technology available now, totalitarian control can very quickly be imposed to a degree far beyond what was attained by either the Nazis or the Communists, and this bill has provisions in it for just that. It mandates the sharing of all of your personal information, from just about every conceivable source, with the new health care bureaucracy being set up to implement this national health care system. The penalties for trying to escape this web are serious. This would actually make America into a national concentration camp, and we can be sure that ultimately it will be a national death camp. You do not have to take my word for it—read it for yourself. Below I will include a brief on this bill so that you can look it up, chapter and verse. </span><br /><br /> <span style="font-size:10;"> I am a pastor and a watchman, and I therefore have a mandate to watch out for the people, and to sound the alarm when I see a threat. I have never seen one like this before. Even so, I have prayed for restraint and calm as I address this, and do not want to exaggerate anything. In spite of this terrible evil that is manifesting itself through the Obama Administration, I am resolved to pray for our government leaders, and I try to pray for the President every day. My sincere hope is for a spiritual awakening for him and for those in every government position, and for the Lord to give them wisdom and help for the most difficult task they have. However, with all due respect (and I mean this), what is coming out of the Obama Administration is evil, more evil than anything I thought I would ever see in America. It is time to call it what it is. </span><br /><br /> <span style="font-size:10;">In the early 1990s, myself and a few other prophetic friends were all shown separately, but at the same general time, that the same evil that gained access to Germany in the 1930s was going to seek access to America. I have shared this often since then, and have made many trips to Germany to seek to understand what happened there. Col. Eugene Bird became one of my dearest friends, and I spent many days with him listening to what he had learned about this, which was considerable. Col. Bird was the U.S. Commandant of the Spandau Prison that held the Nazi war criminals, and ultimately became the one many considered to be the foremost authority on Nazi Germany. Bird’s insight into how evil can gain entry into the human soul and into governments was remarkable, but I always had trouble seeing a connection that would allow what happened there to actually happen in America. Bird often chastised me for this, warning that it could easily happen in America (Col. Bird lived most of his life in Germany, where he became loved and esteemed by that nation, but he remained a patriotic American to the end). Bird often explained how the evil spirit of death that took over Germany gained entry through its health care system. Now it is easy to see what he was talking about in what is being proposed by the Obama Administration.</span><br /><br /> <span style="font-size:10;">In Germany, the National Socialists (Nazis) gradually desensitized the nation to death beginning with abortion. Then they quietly, seemingly with the most noble intentions, rounded up the retarded and insane, claiming that the state could take much better care of them, but no one ever saw or heard from them again. Then they did the same with the elderly. As word slipped out that they were being euthanized, it was explained that war made it necessary to eliminate all of the “useless eaters” so that the troops could be fed, as well as those who worked for the war machine. By that time, the grip of control was too strong for anyone to protest or they would also be sent to the camps. Life became cheaper and cheaper, people became more and more depraved, and millions were slaughtered in the death camps. </span><br /><br /> <span style="font-size:10;">America is following a parallel course. If Hitler had a tool such as the health care bill that is being proposed by Congress, along with the technology of control now available, it would have made his task much easier and more effective, and probably resulted in many millions more having been easily murdered. </span><br /><br /> <span style="font-size:10;"> I have had Presidents, candidates, senators, and congressmen and congresswomen from both parties tell me they have read and appreciated my writings. I have maintained for many years that an eagle needs both a left wing and a right wing to fly, and believe that there are excellent men and women of true conviction in both parties. I realize that by writing with this tenor, I risk being considered an extremist, and maybe risk many relationships, but I cannot be concerned about that. With such an extreme evil threatening our country, I would have a difficult time standing before the Lord on that great judgment day if I did not speak up as boldly, as clearly, and as loudly as I can. Call me an alarmist and I will agree with you—I am going to do my best to sound the alarm against evil in every way that I can, and I don’t think I have ever seen anything with the potential for evil like this national health care bill. </span><br /><br /> <span style="font-size:10;">I pray that senators and congressmen from both parties who have courage and conviction will stand up against this terrible impending holocaust and stop this bill. I expect that it will be hard for many who read and understand what this Democratic Administration has proposed not to refer to the Democratic Party as the Death Party from now on, but let’s wait and see how the Democrats in Congress respond to this before condemning them, too. This bill is criminal—it opens the door for a crime against humanity on a level that could easily surpass what happened in the last century. We must hold accountable all who have written, proposed, and sided with this bill—and determine that with all the resources we are given, they will never be elected again for anything. </span><br /><br /> <span style="font-size:10;">I pray that every Christian will wake up and rise up to take their stand against what is happening in our country now. If we do, we can stop this. If we don’t, we will have to stand before the Judge having let this happen on our watch. We can expect persecution and even death for standing against such a bold and obvious attack of the spirit of death, but no Christian should fear death, and no Christian will want to live in the world that is now taking shape if we do not become the salt and light we are called to be.</span><br /><br /> <span style="font-size:10;">We are in need of the courage and resolve of Gandalf in the <i>Lord of the Rings</i></span><span style="font-size:10;">, who stood before the huge and terrible Balrog demon and declared—“YOU SHALL NOT PASS!” The demon was stopped, and even though it was able to grab and drag Gandalf down with it, Gandalf returned with a new level of authority. It does not matter what the consequences are for standing for truth, as Christians we must stand because it is our basic duty. As the first apostles demonstrated, to be persecuted and to suffer shame for our God and His truth is one of the greatest honors. However, we must do it for more than honor—we must also do it for our children and their children. </span><br /><br /> <span style="font-size:10;">Last night on Fox News, a former Clinton Administration council to the President stated courageously that this bill was not just about money, it was about euthanasia. The money part does not make any sense at all, but now that the real evil that is driving this can be clearly seen, we can understand that the Administration really does not care about saving money or providing health care for everyone; rather it is about control. There is already talk about this being about saving money by being able to euthanize the baby boomers so they will not have to be paid social security, or weigh down the health care system with their needs. I’m not ready to go that far, but that is obviously why the Florida congressman declared that this bill was a death sentence for the elderly. That is true. </span><br /><br /> <span style="font-size:10;">The only commandment with a promise that it will go well with us, and that we may live long, is the commandment to honor our fathers and mothers. This commandment is found in both the Old and New Testaments (see Ephesians 6:2-3). Killing them when they can no longer be productive, as Hitler and Stalin resolved to do, is the most dishonorable thing we could ever do, and we can be sure will bring the opposite to the blessing promised. As you read the bill, and see how excessively long they stay on the point of being able to determine what and if any care is given to the elderly, you will see it really is chilling. It is obvious this is a primary purpose of those who wrote this bill. I know this sounds far-fetched, and I would not have believed it myself a few days ago, but just read it for yourself.</span><br /><span style="font-size:10;"><span style="font-size:10;"> </span><br /><br /> <span style="font-size:10;"> <b><i>The following is a brief outline of this bill put together by Mat Staver of the Freedom Foundation and Liberty Counsel (contact info is at the end).

I've been doing research for a new newspaper I have been given to write &amp; edit, which means I will probably post lots &amp; lots of news ranging from humanism, to population control, to forced sex-education. When I post, it is not meant to scare, but a focal point of prayer &amp; I almost want to demand that all who read my blog must pass along the new found information.<span style="font-size:130%;">}<span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:100%;" > So with that said, here is an article I stumbled upon today that practically caused me to hurl.</span></span></p><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Obama's Science Czar envisions forced abortion and sterilization</span></span><p> <span style="font-size:78%;">July 13, 2009 (<a href="http://www.lifesitenews.com/">LifeSiteNews.com</a>)</span> -<br /></p><p>Although President Obama's choice for science czar received unanimous approval from the US Senate in March, little mention has been made of Harvard professor John Holdren's career as a self-avowed "neo-Malthusian." In that capacity Holdren has advocated compulsory population control in America, including forced abortion and the addition of sterilizing agents to drinking water, and the creation of what he literally called a "Planetary Regime" that would enforce such a program worldwide.</p><p><img style="margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 15px;" alt="" src="http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/images/2009e/JohnHoldren.gif" width="284" align="right" border="0" height="194" />President-elect Barack Obama stated in December that he had nominated Holdren as Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) as part of his Administration's mission to promote an unbiased science. The goal, said Obama, was to protect "free and open inquiry" and "ensuring that facts and evidence are never twisted or obscured by politics or ideology."</p><p>"It's about listening to what our scientists have to say, even when it's inconvenient - especially when it's inconvenient," announced Obama. </p><p>As "Science Czar," Holdren holds the position of the President's assistant for Science and Technology, Director of OSTP, and Co-Chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. Holdren has accrued an impressive list of credentials to his name: a former president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a former Teresa and John Heinz Professor of Environmental Policy at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, winner of the Volvo Environment Prize of 1993 (along with population control advocate Paul Ehrlich), and others.</p><p>However nothing better reveals the scientific and global policy views of Obama's Science Advisor than his writings on environmental issues, which help provide a picture of the man at the helm of the President's most inner circle of scientific advisors.</p><p>Earlier in February, FrontPage magazine had first revealed that Holdren had proposed a number of dispassionate prescriptions for a ruthless population control program that could be applied to the United States in a 1977 published book entitled, "Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment." Holdren co-authored the work with population control advocates Paul and Anne Ehrlich with the central premise that governments may curtail individual human rights "where society has a 'compelling, subordinating interest' in regulating population size." </p><p><img style="margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" alt="" src="http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/images/2009e/Ecoscience.gif" width="205" align="left" border="0" height="230" />Examples put forward by the authors include the possibility of forced abortion to meet population quotas, sterilizing populations through intentionally tainting the water-supply with infertility drugs, mandating unwed and teen mothers to chose between abortion or giving their children up for adoption, and the imposition of a "Planetary Regime" to enforce policies of population control, with one enforcement mechanism being a global transnational police force.</p><p>"Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society," wrote Holdren on page 837.</p><p>Holdren defends that assertion on the next page by stating that "neither the Declaration of Independence nor the Constitution mentions a right to reproduce" and that for the survival of society, a government could both coerce women to have children as well as force them to abort.</p><p>Large families are a particular target of Holdren and the Ehrlichs, who write that parents of such families "contribute to general social deterioration by overproducing children" and "can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility."</p><p>Holdren advances several ideas for coercive fertility control. He states (pp. 786-7) that "sterilizing women after their second or third child" may be more practicable than sterilizing men, proposes a "long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin" at puberty and then "might be removable, with official permission, for a limited number of births." </p><p>"Adding a sterilant to drinking water or staple foods is a suggestion that seems to horrify people more than most proposals for involuntary fertility control," says Holdren. </p><p>"Indeed, this would pose some very difficult political, legal, and social questions, to say nothing of the technical problems. No such sterilant exists today, nor does one appear to be under development. To be acceptable, such a substance would have to meet some rather stiff requirements: it must be uniformly effective, despite widely varying doses received by individuals, and despite varying degrees of fertility and sensitivity among individuals; it must be free of dangerous or unpleasant side effects; and it must have no effect on members of the opposite sex, children, old people, pets, or livestock."</p><p>Holdren proposes on pages 942-3, an ultimate enforcement mechanism in the form of "a Planetary Regime - sort of an international superagency for population, resources, and environment" that would control and distribute all natural resources and determine as well the "optimum population for the world."</p><p>"Control of population size might remain the responsibility of each government, but the Regime would have some power to enforce the agreed limits," Holdren states.

It is only God who gives wisdom, worldly wisdom is false deception &amp; a manipulation of the truth. </span><span style="font-style: italic;">Even if we were to tell the world the mysteries of God (1 Tim. 3:16), they could not believe it unless it is the Spirit that reveals it to them.(Matt 16:15-17, John 17:1-26)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />{Psalm 25:14}</span><br />The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him, &amp; He will show them his covenant.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">{1 Corinthians 2:6-15}</span><br />However, <span style="font-style: italic;">we speak wisdom among those who are mature</span>, yet <span style="font-weight: bold;">not</span> the <span style="font-style: italic;">wisdom of this age</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">nor</span> of the<span style="font-style: italic;"> rulers of this age</span>, who are coming to nothing. But <span style="font-style: italic;">we speak the <span style="font-weight: bold;">wisdom of God</span> in a <span style="font-weight: bold;">mystery</span>, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory</span>, which none of the rulers of this age knew; <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory</span>. But as it is written:<br /><br />“ Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,<br />Nor have entered into the heart of man<br />The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”<br /><br />But <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">God has revealed them to us through His Spirit</span>. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. <span style="font-style: italic;">Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might <span style="font-weight: bold;">know the things that have been freely given to us by God</span></span>. These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned</span>. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">{Luke 23:34}</span><br />Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">{Colossians 1:25-27}</span><br />...to fulfill the Word of God, the <span style="font-style: italic;">mystery</span> which has been hidden from ages from generations, but now <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">has been revealed to His saints</span>.

You are an offense to Me, for <span style="font-style: italic;">you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men</span>.”<br /><br />These are only just a very small amount of Scripture that talks about the Mysteries of God. I haven't even touched on the fear of The Lord. I mainly wanted to bring to the table that <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">if you do not know the Lord, you can not know Him</span>. Sounds repetitive I know, but now that you've read it, repeat it out loud. Now then, just think about it, the world claims all these horrible attributes of God, why? They don't know God. Well that's because of the fine example us as His Bride- the Church has made. Therefore we <span style="font-style: italic;">don't</span> really know Him. Scary thing to claim, but I can confidently say that I truly don't know God. More than anything, this grieves my heart. But I know it's a passage from glory to glory, I do what I don't want to do &amp; I don't do what I want to do, even though I so desperately desire to follow the voice of my Shepard! Thanks to Jesus, though <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">we are all reconciled to God</span> forever as Romans 5 says!

And Y-E-S, we see 5 months as awhile! A friend recommended this book to me, Supernatural Childbirth. It's pretty good, in the respects of encouraging prayer &amp; bringing to light the power of words. Meaning this, <span style="font-style: italic;">Proverbs 18:21 says that in our words bring life or bring death</span>, and Jackie &amp; her Husband make the case that, if you or anyone has EVER spoken something over you about your body or about your future children, it needs to be brought before the Father &amp; dealt with, saying that could be a possible reason for barrenness. I couldn't agree more. The book is a short read which is nice, but in all feel because of it's length, a bit lacking.<br /><br />So don't laugh, buuuuuuut for the past few months, I've been scouring the net for the best baby registry. <span style="font-style: italic;">We feel God calling us into a <span style="font-weight: bold;">healthier lifestyle</span></span> &amp; therefore will nurture our children with the same. i.e. mostly organic or natural based products/foods. We have a huge garden &amp; have started to live life more frugal every since the move back to San Diego. I have a friend whose Mom has a textile business where she can virtually make anything involving fabrics/textiles by hand. Anything from curtains, baking mittens, maternity clothing to upholstery. So to say the very least, I am waaay stoked. So upon recently finding this wonderful bit of information out, I've decided that I am going to attempt to make all of our kids clothes. Bibs, cloth diapers, shirts, baby blankets, seriously everything! Also, <span style="font-style: italic;">we want our first pregnancy to be <span style="font-weight: bold;">twins</span></span>. We have friends whom have 1 child &amp; seeing their zeal &amp; deep desire for more, we just know that 1 baby for our first pregnancy isn't enough. So with that said, pray for us! God's timing is everything!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);font-family:Times;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-family:Times;"><b style="background-color: rgb(255, 102, 255);"><br /></b></span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >Behold, children </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><i style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">are</i></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" > a heritage from the LORD,</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" > The fruit of the womb </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><i style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">is</i></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" > a reward.</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" > So </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><i style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">are</i></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" > the children of one’s youth.</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >Happy </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><i style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">is</i></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" > the man who has his quiver full of them;</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" > They shall not be ashamed, </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" > But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:85%;" >-Psalm 127:3-5</span><br /><br />{soli deo gloria}<br /></div><span style=";font-family:Times;font-size:100%;" ><span style=";font-family:Times;font-size:14;" ></span></span>Lael Gielowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16543520849383989340noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750220516092034517.post-74357454448405326872009-05-11T23:22:00.000-07:002009-05-11T23:26:04.551-07:00{Adoption v. Abandonment}:Court is now in session.<span style="font-size:78%;">by Randy Bohlender</span><br />There is a hard to quantify, yet hard to deny reality that the spirit world operates something akin to mathematics at times. Truth works no matter how you approach the equation. X is elusive, yet it is the glory of kings to search it out. And for every positive action or number, there is an equal and opposing reaction. We are seeing that play out in a very real, very tragic way. The prophet Malachi delivered an oracle from God describing the time nearing the end of days: Malachi 4:5,6 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse. We may not agree on what the great and dreadful day of the Lord means in specifics, but most of us agree that a) today isn’t it and b) it’s closer today than it was yesterday. In light of those two points, it would do us all well to take a long, hard look at the things God says are to come.<img src="http://api.ning.com/files/qPCwhmZuf3FvVWPpzELUmVPoxnlA6Cc1FJRwyJpECBebrB*R0f*O22EppSkXwvhiX92OIf2oZPIcNQz4yJQjIsVRiOZ-vjV2/baby8.jpg" alt="" style="float: right;" width="512" height="395" /> One of the positives to come will be a great adoption movement - figurative and literal - as the hearts of the generations turn 180 degrees to face one another and the church rediscovers a wholeness lost long ago. Not many years ago, people primarily adopted because they were unable to conceive. That’s no longer the biggest reason. Increasingly, I’m meeting people who are adopting for more proactive, spiritual reasons - as prophetic declarations of God’s heart for children. I believe is a foreshadowing of Malachi’s promise. Of course, there is a negative reality as well. Even as the church discovers the spirit of adoption, there is a radical display of child abandonment happening in Nebraska. Not long ago, Nebraska instituted a Safe Haven Law, promising clemency to anyone who, unable to care for a child, would surrender them to a hospital or police station. The thought was they would safe a number of infants from poor care or abuse. Never in their wildest dreams did they expect what would happen next. Rather than infants being delivered to hospitals by teen parents, children as old as seventeen are being flown across the country and dropped off by parents who are at their wits end as to how to deal with them. In the past few days alone, three teenagers and a five year old were brought from as far away as Miami, Florida by four different parents. In one case, a 17 year old girl and her 14 year old brother were dropped at an Omaha hospital. When the girl figured out what was happening, she ran way, preferring to face the world on her own than in state custody. Her brother did not go with her. It’s hard to tell who got the better deal. State lawmakers are in shock. “Please don’t bring your teenager to Nebraska,” Gov. Dave Heineman told CNN. “Think of what you are saying. You are saying you no longer support them. You no longer love them.” There’s no way to tell the conditions from which these kids may be being spared. In some - if not most cases - they actually may be better off in a foster home. I can’t imagine a child living long term with an parent who would prefer to abandon them. That being said, the greater issue is what this says about our culture. Kids are commodities, not responsibilities. Parenting is a magazine, not a life of sacrifice. When it gets hard, help is only as far away as Nebraska. Good God, what have we become. The church must embrace these kids and thousands of others with spiritual and temporal adoption. It will not be pretty, easy, or fun. It will be obedience. They are not the prom queens or football stars we thought we would raise…but their reception by the body of Christ will be the barometer of what will come. Hear the words of the prophet, and the warning therein. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.Lael Gielowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16543520849383989340noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750220516092034517.post-56351301144500526222009-05-07T14:05:00.000-07:002009-05-07T14:26:37.601-07:00{The History of Abortion}<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QWbZD1hXHVQ/SgNQTBMEs-I/AAAAAAAAADE/mYX850Z32aQ/s1600-h/AbortionHistory.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 391px; height: 149px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QWbZD1hXHVQ/SgNQTBMEs-I/AAAAAAAAADE/mYX850Z32aQ/s400/AbortionHistory.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333194671403611106" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><center style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" >Very informative article on the -History of Abortion-<br /></span><span style="font-size:95;"><strong><span style="font-size:98;"><span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" >By: <a style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);" href="http://bound4life.com/abortion-history/">Bound4Life DC</a></span><br /></span><a style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);" href="http://bound4life.com/abortion-history/"></a></span></strong></span></center><strong></strong></span><strong>We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness</strong> (The Declaration of Independence). These words, written over two hundred years ago, became the very foundation of what the United States of America stands for. Yet in the past hundred years, millions of American citizens have been denied the rights and truths encompassed in this statement. <p><span style="font-size:85%;">Legalized abortion has defied the unalienable right to Life and allowed the most marginalized and voiceless group in America to be slaughtered in the womb. Yet this injustice did not begin with denying Life. It began when we embraced the ideals of eugenics and rejected the first truth, that all men are created equal. <strong>Only by exposing the roots of legalized abortion in a legacy of eugenics can America have a full understanding of the injustice in this nation.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">Eugenics is a science concerned with improving the human species, by such means as influencing or encouraging reproduction by persons presumed to have desirable genetic traits (Hunt, Abortion and Eugenics). This idea of creating a better race is not a new concept. Though eugenics was not a word then, Plato theorized that an elite human race could be conceived if animal breeding tactics were applied to humans (Cavanaugh-O’Keefe, The Roots Chapter One).</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">Like the eugenicists that would come after him, he rejected the Biblical principle that every man is predestined by God, called for a certain purpose, and created in the perfect image of God. Jeremiah 1:5 says, Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Plato could not control what man became through breeding techniques, for it is God who creates man.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">Despite its faulty foundation, the theory survived through the years. It was finally labeled “eugenics” by Sir Francis Galton in the late nineteenth century. He created the word from two Greek words. The first part, eu (eu), means good. John Cavanaugh-O’Keefe points out that many words with the eu- prefix make a terrible thing appear good, with examples such as eulogy, euphemism, and euthanasia. The second part of the word comes from the Greek word gen (gen). Gen denotes birth or race (Cavanaugh-O’Keefe, The Roots Chapter One).</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">In one of his addresses, Galton explained that after studying plant and animal methods, he was convinced that traits were hereditary, good and bad alike. <strong>Therefore, it is possible to breed people to eliminate the “undesirables” and to multiply the “desirables”</strong> (Galton). However, all Galton had was theory based on observation.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">Then in the mid 1800s, cellular biologist August Weisman discovered a cell with all the genetic information enclosed. He called it the “germ plasm,” but scientists would later rename it the chromosome. From Weisman’s discovery Galton assumed that every person was the measurable and predictable sum of his ancestor’s immortal germ plasm (Black 17). He now had flawed science to prove his faulty theory.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">Galton’s lack of basic respect for human worth was not an original attitude. He was greatly influenced by Reverend Thomas Malthus and Charles Darwin (Cavanaugh-O’Keefe, The Roots Chapter One). Malthus was known to society as an influential political economist in early nineteenth century England. He believed that population grew at an exponential rate whereas food grew at a linear rate; meaning society could grow to exceeds their food source (Thomas Malthus “Principle of Population”). Being a clergyman he believed that lack of food was God’s way of forcing the human race to advance, thereby removing the weak-minded.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">His proposal was that the poor and working classes be kept from reproducing and that charity to the poor be stopped, which he thought encouraged population growth and reduced the food supply for the better classes of society (Cavanaugh-O’Keefe, The Roots Chapter One). Malthus theory created a necessity to alter reproduction because of over-population. Galton offered the answer with breeding.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">Erasmus Darwin was grandfather to Charles Darwin and Francis Galton. Erasmus was actually the first to suggest the theory of evolution. Charles only revised the theory with more research and presented it in his infamous book On The Origin of Species in 1859 (Cavanaugh-O’Keefe, The Roots Chapter Two). Darwin agreed with Malthus about over-population but promoted “natural selection” as the means of eliminating the weak (Chapter One).</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">Galton used his cousin’s theory to strengthen eugenics: if society evolved from protoplasm, then the most evolved should not breed with the less evolved. <strong>Evolution and eugenics thereby created an atmosphere for an elitist, racist movement that sought to remove all those believed inferior.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">Support of eugenics grew as it infiltrated London’s high societies; however, the movement was going in two directions. One direction was called positive eugenics. Its goal was to encourage or require by law eugenically favorable marriages. <strong>The other direction, negative eugenics, sought to eliminate the undesirable through sterilization, euthanasia, segregation or by any other means of stopping the degenerate from reproducing</strong> (Black 18-19).</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">Galton supported only positive eugenics, while his followers believed that only force would preserve their perfect race. <strong>Sir Francis Galton died in 1911, leaving behind an alliance of racist men that desired to wipe out all mentally handicapped, physically handicapped, blind, poor, and colored portions of society.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">England had no success at passing legislation of a negative eugenic nature. America, however, became fertile soil for negative eugenics in the early Twentieth century (Black 211). Because eugenics generally appeals to the wealthiest and most influential people, benefactors such as the Rockefeller family, Carnegie Institution, and Mrs. Harriman of the Union Pacific Railroad became part of the American eugenic legacy (56-57). They funded guilds and institutions such as the American Eugenics Society, Carnegie Institution’s Station for Experimental Evolution, and the Eugenics Records Office (219).</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">It is disappointing that some of the greatest philanthropists turned out to be racist eugenicists. With so much money backing the Americans, they eventually became the leading source for new studies, improved information, and tactics to promote eugenics (213).</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">A key device used by eugenicists to support their work was the newly developed French intelligence test. Henry Goddard took this test and misconstrued its purpose adapting it to categorize American intelligence (Black 76).</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">Often biased and flawed, these tests were the basis for segregating and institutionalizing anyone deemed feebleminded by the score they achieved. The terms created to categorize below-normal achievement were “imbecile,” “moron,” and “idiot” (82). Because eugenicists believed that intelligence was inherited, whole families were institutionalized based on one person’s score.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>With the ability to scientifically classify humans and segregate them from society, eugenicists began to push for legalized sterilization. The infamous case of Buck v. Bell reached the Supreme Court in 1927, making eugenic sterilization legal in the United States. Records show that approximately 60,000 sterilizations were done, with or without the consent of the patient by the 1950s. Twenty-seven states practiced sterilizations, with California performing the most at two-fifths of all done in the United States</strong> (Cavanaugh-O’Keefe, The Roots Chapter Five).</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>The success of the Americans encouraged other nations to implement their own programs. While other countries only simulated United State’s model, Germany took eugenics to its most radical form. By the end of the 1920s, America realized that Germany was one of the new leaders in the global eugenics movement</strong> (Black 294). <strong>The German eugenicists’ dream came true when Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933. He was a white supremacist and ardent follower and admirer of American eugenics.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Soon sterilization, euthanasia, abortion, anti-miscegenation laws, and concentration camps were established. Besides the millions killed in the gas chambers, hundreds were also killed in the camp labs in the name of eugenic research. In Auschwitz alone, 1,300 people were killed in twin experimentation</strong></span> (Black 359). The Rockefeller Foundation funded the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, which oversaw the experimentations at Auschwitz (Messall 39-40).</p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">Despite the horror the rest of the world felt, American eugenicists praised Germany’s success in doing what they themselves only dreamed of doing (Black 316-17). History shows that the post-World War II eugenics campaign fell from its pinnacle because the world vowed they would not allow the atrocities of Hitler to happen again, at least, not again in that form.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">After the war, eugenics became a discredited science because of its association with the Third Reich (Eugenics Stigmatization of eugenics). The movement would have all but died if it were not for Frederick Osborn. Osborn knew that the old strategies would no longer be effective; thus, he began a new eugenics movement that would later be called “crypto-eugenics.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>The essence of this strategy was to no longer promote eugenics openly but to achieve their objectives through other organizations</strong> (Cavanaugh-O’Keefe, The Roots Chapter Ten). By selectively pouring their money into other movements, <strong>they could still remove the unfit from society by utilizing the public’s naiveté of what the organization’s true motives were. Their goal was still the same as the Nazis’, but they would pursue it in a way that would not lead to another Nuremburg Trial.</strong></span></p> <p style="float: right;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><img src="http://www.bound4life.com/images/Sanger.jpg" alt="" /></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">One of the main groups eugenicists began to conspire with were the birth control advocates. <strong>Birth control emerged just after the eugenics movement took off in the early 1910s. It was promoted and expanded mostly through the work of its founder Margaret Sanger. Sanger was a Malthusian eugenicist who believed the “dead weight of human waste” should be “eliminate[d]”</strong> (Green “Malthusian Eugenics”).</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Besides birth control, she advocated sterilization and eugenics. She did not openly support abortion due Havelock Ellis’s suggestion that “society was not quite ready for it”</strong> (Hunt, Perfecting Humankind 2). Her paper, The Birth Control Review, was used not just to promote birth control but eugenic interests. In one edition, an extreme white supremacist eugenic book by Lothrop Stoddard was recommended to the readers (Who was Margaret Sanger?).</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Sanger’s American Birth Control Federation, which would eventually become Planned Parenthood, was founded in 1922 and soon began its work at supplying birth control and targeting the undesirables. By 1930, Sanger had a clinic in the heart of Harlem. She taught them that birth control, not better prenatal care, would produce healthier children</strong> (Green “The Harlem Clinic”). <strong>From that point on, Sanger would continue to open clinics in strategic high-minority, low-income areas.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>During the early forties, Margaret Sanger instituted The Negro Project. The goal was to pull African American leaders and preachers into the movement so as to make the black community embrace the concepts birth control. In a letter she wrote to her cohort Dr. Clarence Gamble, she said, “we do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out the idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members”</strong> (Green “Web of Deceit”).</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">Despite Sanger’s belief that birth control creates a door for the eugenicist, the two movements had yet to formally connect. This was due to the fact that Sanger was a strong advocate of negative eugenics, not positive eugenics (Black 135). She was a die-hard feminist and liberal sex crusader that thought multiple children were a chain and ball on female independence (Grant 73-75). But as post-World War II eugenicists searched for avenues to funnel their vice, Planned Parenthood became a worthy candidate.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">In a speech Frederick Osborn gave at the annual Galton Lecture in 1956, he said, <strong>“Let’s stop telling everyone that they have generally inferior genetic qualities for they will never agree. Lets base our proposals on the desirability of having children in homes where they will get affectionate and responsible care, and perhaps our proposals will be accepted”</strong> and that from this rebirth we may “see [eugenics] moving at last toward the high goals which Galton set for it” (Cavanaugh-O’Keefe, The Roots Chapter Ten).</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">The Eugenics Society of England followed the American leaders and began funding the Family Planning Association and the International Planned Parenthood Federation. Not surprisingly, when the </span><span class="caps" style="font-size:85%;">IPPF</span><span style="font-size:85%;"> opened in 1952, it was headquartered in the Eugenics Society offices (Cavanaugh-O’Keefe, Introduction “Crypto Eugenics”).</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">The American Eugenics Society played out their scheme through an organization that they created themselves. The veterans and rookies came together in 1952 to found the Population Council. With mainly Rockefeller’s money, they funded the research for a more effective birth control (The Roots Chapter Ten).</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>The money was funneled into two main types of birth control research: the oral birth control pill and the <span class="caps">IUD</span> (intrauterine device).</strong> During the early 1950s, Planned Parenthood and the Population Council funded research to duplicate the sex hormone, which led to the creation of the pill in 1956. After testing it on humans in Puerto Rico, it entered the United States market in 1960.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">The Population Council began focusing on the </span><span class="caps" style="font-size:85%;">IUD</span><span style="font-size:85%;"> after Alan Guttmacher, the previous America Eugenics Society Vice President and current President of Planned Parenthood, suggested it (Cavanaugh-O’Keefe, The Roots Chapter Eleven). To eugenicists, the </span><span class="caps" style="font-size:85%;">IUD</span><span style="font-size:85%;"> was perfect because once inserted, women would not have children for years.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>The legality of birth control and contraception had been up to the states since the early 1900s.</strong> This caused a problem for the new eugenic backed movements. Thus Planned Parenthood went against the no contraceptives law in Connecticut by opening a clinic in hopes to reverse the law. The case Griswold v. Connecticut made its way up to the Supreme Court where the majority ruled that the Connecticut law was unconstitutional because it defied a married couple’s right to privacy (Griswold v. Connecticut Introduction).</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>The right to privacy clause was justified by the court as a “penumbra,” opening a Pandora’s box that eventually led to the Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decision eight years later.</strong> This case is a clear example of the judicial activism that is still being battled in our courts today. Contraception and birth control was now legal for married couples and would be made legal for the unmarried in the 1972 case Eisenstadt v. Baird (Subsequent Jurisprudence).</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>From the beginning, hormonal birth control was based on deception. Hormonal birth control</strong> (the Pill, the Minipill, </span><span class="caps" style="font-size:85%;">IUD</span><span style="font-size:85%;">, Norplant, the morning-after-pill, Depo-Provera, RU-486) <strong>has always had three possible functions. The first, often most confused as the only function, is to prevent ovulation. If the first function fails, a possible second function is to thicken the mucus of the cervix so that the sperm cannot reach the egg. The third function, a function which all hormone based contraception has, is to thin the lining of the uterus so that the fertilized egg, the baby, is not able to implant in the uterus lining and is thus aborted</strong> (Alcorn 323-326, 332).</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>In early 1960, both Alan Guttmacher and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists defined conception as the moment of fertilization, or when the egg meets the sperm. This caused a problem because abortion was illegal then, making their pill and the <span class="caps">IUD</span> illegal. So in order to make their birth control, or what they falsely called contraception, legal, they altered the definition of conception.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>By 1970, both changed their position and claimed that conception begins with fertilization and ends with implantation in the uterus. In other words, it was not a baby until it was implanted into the uterus</strong> (Cavanaugh-O’Keefe, The Roots Chapter Eleven). <strong>To this day, America is aborting millions of babies in the name of contraception.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">With birth control legal and the Sexual Revolution in full swing, abortion was just another step in the direction America and the eugenicist were going. </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" >On January 22, 1973, abortion was legalized by the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade. Not surprisingly, this case is full of eugenics.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Justice Harry Blackmun, writing the opinion of the court, wrote that states were already adopting the Model Penal Code.</strong> This was an extreme code that provided for eugenic abortion and the abortion of babies conceived in rape or incest. Moreover, the code was based on the fraudulent sex study work of Dr. Kinsey who was funded by the eugenic Rockefeller Foundation (Messall 59).</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Blackmun also directly cited Glanville Williams and Christopher Tietze multiple times. Both were extreme eugenicists from the British Eugenics Society.</strong> Abortion, by Lawrence Lader, was cited seven times. Lader expressed profuse gratitude in his book to Glanville Williams, Christopher Tietze, five American Eugenics Society members, and the Abortion Law Reform Association that included Julian Huxley and twenty-seven members of the Eugenics Society (60).</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">Continuing in his trend, he noted several state abortion court cases that were based on eugenic theories, an organization that had long supported eugenics, the eugenic book The Biological Time Bomb, and an article that claimed man was taking over its evolutionary process (64-67). The opinion of the court might as well have been drafted by the American Eugenics Society.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">Directly after Roe v. Wade was released, the American Eugenics Society changed its name. Osborn said, “The name was changed because it became evident that changes of a eugenic nature would be made for reasons other than eugenics, and that tying a eugenic label on them would more often hinder than help their adoption. Birth control and abortion are turning out to be great eugenic advances of our time (67).</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Besides being immersed in eugenics, Roe v. Wade was founded on lies. “Jane Roe” was really Norma McCorvey. This single, pregnant woman was used by two lawyers to legalize abortion. She never knew anything about the case or its proceedings except that she could get an abortion when the case was over. She never went through with the abortion. The first thing she heard about the case was on the news when Roe v. Wade was decided and abortion was made legal.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Roe v. Wade’s companion case, Doe v. Bolton, which made abortion legal in all three trimesters of pregnancy for virtually any reason, had a similar situation. “Mary Doe’s” real name was Sandra Cano. Her husband was in jail, her kids had been placed to foster care, and she was pregnant at the time the lawyers approached her. When she agreed to be Doe, she thought it was to get a divorce and to get her children back.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>They tried to convince her to have an abortion, but she wouldn’t agree to one because she believed abortion was wrong. She had no idea that her case would become the infamous Doe v. Bolton. Now both women are followers of Christ and are trying to reverse their cases</strong> (Cavanaugh-O’Keefe, The Roots Chapter Thirteen).</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">If there is any doubt about abortion being rooted in eugenics, modern statistics settle the subject.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>78% of Planned Parenthood clinics are in minority communities</strong> (Choice Nazi 3). <strong>According to the Guttmacher Institute, an African American is three times more likely to have an abortion than a white woman. Hispanics are 2 times more likely to have an abortion than white women</strong> (Jones, Darroch, and Henshaw “Women’s Characteristics”). <strong>African Americans constitute twelve percent of the national population and have 32% of the abortions</strong> (Hall). <strong>For every one black child born, three are aborted</strong> (Grant 116). <strong>80% of unborn babies diagnosed with Down’s syndrome are aborted</strong> (Will). <strong>The RU-486 pill was created by the same company that created Zyklon B gas for the Nazi death chambers</strong> (Choice Nazi 6). <strong>There are 45% more sterilizations among African American women and 30% more sterilizations among Hispanics than among White women</strong> (Grant 117). <strong>Not one school-based Planned Parenthood clinic is located in a white majority school</strong></span> (Grant 115).</p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">Americans love the image of the Statue of Liberty and inspired by her words of welcome to the oppressed and disenfranchised of the world: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">The sad truth is that America is no longer the safe haven of the defenseless nor the protector of the weak. In fact, we have mercilessly killed our most vulnerable citizens. We need to reclaim the deep respect for the individual and personal liberty that this country was founded on and vehemently reject the ideology of abortion and its racist roots.</span></p>Lael Gielowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16543520849383989340noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750220516092034517.post-90445595413921231862009-05-07T13:26:00.000-07:002009-05-07T14:04:36.415-07:00Coincidence??Coincidence?

A lot of Christians are fighting along side the group "The Invisible Children", which in itself not a bad thing. This young group of filmmakers are doing a wonderful job at turning "apathy into activism", by telling stories through media about the child soldiers in Northern Uganda. The problem I have noticed is the lack of "activism" in our own nation on behalf of those who have no voice.(</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="visibility: visible;" id="main"><span style="visibility: visible;" id="search"><em>Proverbs</em> 31:8-9 NKJV</span></span></span><span style="font-size:85%;">) I think it's awesome that they are getting the word out and are actually doing something with the experiences they have had.</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br />It's easier to jump on the justice bandwagon to fight for justice in another country because you are less likely to be vilified. It's not as scary, and you are in the safety of your own home. And because it's a common cause to run with, it's easier to make friends, <span style="font-style: italic;">not</span> enemies. Similarly are the reasons why people do not stand up for the unborn. During the trans-Atlantic slavery era, sugar and other goods were harvested by the hands and blood of the black African people that we're sold into slavery. Only after a cry was heard opposing this horrid injustice, were there outlets for slave-free goods. Again, we see the injustice rise in the Woman's Rights issues of abortion and contraceptives. I hear many men and women say, "I don't support abortion, I just get my condoms, or my birth-control from Planned Parenthood." Uhh, do you see a hole in this? I know I do. If we are not standing up for those who do not have a voice(<span style="visibility: visible;" id="main"><span style="visibility: visible;" id="search"><em>Proverbs</em> 31:8-9 NKJV</span></span>), then the blood of over 50,000,000 babies(in America since January 22, 1973) is on our hands. In more blatant terms, if we choose to stay silent, and turn a blind eye on the slaughtering of innocent blood(Jeremiah 22:3), then we are as guilty as those whom did nothing during the Holocaust.<br />But the issue that we need to go after is comfort. We've made friends with our demons and don't want to lay down our lives for another(John 15:13), so that they might prosper. "Don't tell me I can't have my sugar. I don't support slavery, but how else am I going to get my sugar?" Or how about this one, "I don't support abortion, but I like the freedom to <span style="font-style: italic;">choose</span> when I will have kids."<br />The real evils are rooted in our desire to live and not die. Jesus knew what He was going after when in Mark 8:34-38, He essentially said, "The only way to live is to die and that's through my cross." </span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-size:100;">Sadhu Sundar Singh, said it clearly,</span><br />"<span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">It is easy to die for Christ. It is hard to live for him. Dying takes only an hour or two, but to live for Christ means to die daily.</span></span>"</span><br />I truly believe that <span style="font-size:180%;">The <span style="font-style: italic;">real</span> "<span style="font-weight: bold;">invisible children</span>" are in the womb.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-size:100%;">I leave you with this-</span><br /></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:78%;" ><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></span><div style="text-align: left;"> This is what the LORD says: Do what is just and right.<br /> Rescue from the hand of his oppressor the one who has been robbed.<br /> Do no wrong or violence to the alien, the fatherless or the widow,<br /> and <span style="font-style: italic;">do not shed innocent blood in this place</span>.<span style="font-size:78%;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">(Jeremiah 22:3)</span></span><br /></div><br /> They shed<span style="font-style: italic;"> innocent blood</span>,<br /> the <span style="font-style: italic;">blood of their sons and daughters</span>,<br /> whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,<br /> and the land was desecrated by their blood. <span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:78%;" >(Psalm 106:38)</span><br /><br /> Isaac prayed hard to <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">God</span> for his wife because she was barren. <span style="font-variant: small-caps;"><br /> God</span> answered his prayer and Rebekah became pregnant.<br /> But the children tumbled and kicked inside her so much that she said,<br /> "If this is the way it's going to be, why go on living?"<br /> She went to <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">God</span> to find out what was going on. <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">God</span> told her,<br /> Two nations are in your womb,<br /> two peoples butting heads while still in your body.<br /> One people will overpower the other,<br /> and the older will serve the younger. <span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:78%;" >(Genesis 25:21-22)</span><br /><br /> For You formed my inward parts;<br /> You covered me in my mother’s womb.<br /> I will praise You, for I am fearfully <i>and</i> wonderfully made;<br /> Marvelous are Your works,<br /> And <i>that</i> my soul knows very well.<br /> My frame was not hidden from You,<br /> When I was made in secret,<br /> <i>And</i> skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.<br /> Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.<br /> And in Your book they all were written,<br /> The days fashioned for me,<br /> When <i>as yet there were</i> none of them. <span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:78%;" >(Psalm 139:13-16)<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;">God loves babies, He says that they are people in the womb, <span style="font-style: italic;">NOT</span> fetuses.

Raging not only on our own souls, but a war that is after our families and the true order of God for mankind. The face that the enemy is using in the battle is so crafty, that it's crept into most aspects of our life. Some of you may have not even heard this term before, but it is the most dangerous tool because it is the most subtle. This tool is called humanism- the desire &amp; for self recognition and pleasure to be gained in any capacity necessary. Not only have we seen this inside the church, but everywhere, woman have recognized the lack &amp; lost calling that God places on each of them. The freedom riots and peaceful marches of the 1960s were supposed to liberate us but instead has left us in every sense of the word lacking. But there is hope! No longer must we listen to the lie that we are less than a person , but that the message of God is clear to His Bride, a message of hope, obedience, prayer &amp; death to self. This is God's heart felt approach for us to turn back to godly womanhood.<br /><br />The early rise of the feminist movement in the late 1960s, had it's roots almost 50 years earlier in the Tea-Party meetings and suffrage marches for woman's rights. With women in all cultures across the world deemed as sub-human, scripture tells us a very different account.<br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(0,204,204); FONT-STYLE: italic">Genesis 1:27</span><span style="COLOR: rgb(102,255,255)"> </span>recounts God making both men &amp; women equal in His image. Satan knew that in order to get man to be separated from God, he could use the woman to his own advantage. Not only by causing the woman to believe a lie, that she could be like God &amp; obtain all knowledge,(<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(0,204,204); FONT-STYLE: italic">Genesis 3:5</span>) but in doing so, this would cause God's order for family to be distorted. In result of the fall of man, God spoke a curse directed to the woman saying, "And you will desire to control your husband, but he will rule over you."(<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(0,204,204); FONT-STYLE: italic">Genesis 3:16</span>) Stating that you will want to lead in whatever you do, but man will be over you. Ever since that day in the garden, there has been a battle between the sexes.<br />So what is the problem with this? One word, submission. Submission to some, would send ill shivers down the spines of those who aren't well acquainted with the word. Yet, to submit actually means to give over or yield to the power or authority of another. So you see to submit means to allow yourself to go low so that another can be lifted high, and in this there is only room for love and grace to abound, not selfishness or bitterness. In many societies, the misunderstanding of submission is that only women are subject to this rule. When in reality, the bible clearly states that women are not the only ones who are called to submit! <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(0,204,204); FONT-STYLE: italic">Ephesians 5:25</span> says, Husbands love your wife as Christ loved the church and submitted Himself for her even unto death. And again in <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(0,204,204); FONT-STYLE: italic">Matthew 26:42</span> where Christ Himself submitted His will to the Father. Submission means to allow God to intervene. When we stay the course of God's good and righteous order(<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(0,204,204); FONT-STYLE: italic">1 Corinthians 14:40</span>), we allow God to do what He needs to do in any situation whether it be avenging the injustice(<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(0,204,204); FONT-STYLE: italic">Romans 12:19</span>), or praying for a loved one to be saved.<br />So with all this said, I hope we see submission in a new &amp; positive light, because submission is such a powerful principle that operates on faith and without faith it is impossible to please God.(<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(0,204,204); FONT-STYLE: italic">Hebrews 11:6</span>)<small> <span style="font-size:78%;"><submission>P. Bunny Wilson- Biblical Womanhood in the Home></submission></span></small><br />When we walk under this liberating biblical principle, we are obeying God's commands, &amp; God desires obedience over sacrifice,(<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(0,204,204); FONT-STYLE: italic">1 Samuel 15:22</span>) and we can not do obedience without faith.(<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(0,204,204); FONT-STYLE: italic">Romans 1:5</span>) So no matter how many dishes you wash, dinners you cook or gardens you plow, if there is bitterness harbored inside(<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(0,204,204); FONT-STYLE: italic">Matthew 5:23-24</span>), it is all done in vain,(<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(0,204,204); FONT-STYLE: italic">Psalm 127:1</span>) &amp; we are in sin.<br />But where sin is, there grace abounds even more!(<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(0,204,204); FONT-STYLE: italic">Romans 5:20</span>) You may ask yourself well how in the world am I supposed to just change my way of thinking, change without an up front solution? Well the amazing news is that we can not only have the mind of Christ, but God is constantly calling us away with Him.(<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(0,204,204); FONT-STYLE: italic">1 Corinthians 2:16, Hosea 2:14-15, Hebrew 13:20-22</span>) I'm not saying this will be easy, but if it's worth fighting for than it's worth dying for! The way to the heart of God is to go to the cross. At the cross there is submission of ones will in place of God's in our life. At the cross Jesus spoke of Paradise.(<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(0,204,204); FONT-STYLE: italic">Luke 23:43</span>) Now normally when someone thinks of death, they do not think of Heaven. They think of all that will be lost, their families, possessions, positions &amp; whatever else they had in this life. But for Jesus to say there is faith, hope &amp; love in the cross of Christ, wow. So for Christ to say it is better to lose your life to His, so that you might gain His cross, what better way is there?(<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(0,204,204); FONT-STYLE: italic">Matthew 16:25-27, Mark 10:21</span>)<br /><br />So ladies, is there hope?? Yes, Jesus is our only hope in this life.(<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(0,204,204); FONT-STYLE: italic">Hebrews 6:19</span>) There is no greater reward in this life than to love the Lord with everything! In everything you do, do it for the glory of God!(<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(0,204,204); FONT-STYLE: italic">1 Corinthians 10:21</span>)Lael Gielowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16543520849383989340noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750220516092034517.post-10070938813782909902009-03-29T21:32:00.000-07:002009-03-30T18:52:35.916-07:00The Church says she's Pro-Life, but is she Pro-Child?There are aproxiamtely <strong><em>7,500</em></strong> children in San Diego foster care right this moment. There are OVER <em>500</em> churches in SAN DIEGO County alone. If each <em>church adopted only 15 kids</em>, the San Diego foster care system would HAVE to <em>close it's doors</em>. We NEED to wake up and BE THE CHURCH to the people AS Christ IS to His Bride! This frusterates me sooo bad. People don't understand that the <em><strong>adoption &amp; foster care system </strong></em>is a <em>BLACK MARKET</em> of <em>buying and selling of kids</em>. People respond with, " Oh, well that's just the way the system works." My response, "It is the way the world works, not God. When Jesus spoke of Heaven, He said it is FULL of children!(<strong>Matt. 19:14, Mark 10:14, Luke 18:16</strong>) He also said, there are many rooms in His Father's house, and that He must go away to prepare rooms for us.(<strong>John 14:2</strong>) Another part of canon that is close to my heart is <strong>James 1:27</strong>, where it says, Pure &amp; undefiled Religion IS this, to take care of Widows &amp; Orphans, &amp; to keep ourselves unspotted from this world. " Why does the Church need to wake up you may be asking yourself? Because God has fully and completely adopted us into His family. Where would we be without the love of the Father for whom He loved so much that He gave of His only Son to be our sin offering, so we could come into His Kingdom.<br /><br /><br /><center><strong>You may also be asking well what can you do?</strong></center><ul><li><center>Pray, Pray, Pray</center></li><li><center>Go here: <a href="http://randybohlender.wordpress.com/2009/01/20/dont-say-you-dont-know-where-to-start/"><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);">Randy &amp; Kelsey Bohlender</span></a><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);">, </span><a href="http://randybohlender.wordpress.com/2009/03/02/but-what-about-the-money/"><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);">answer to the money problem</span></a></center></li><li><center>Start foster parenting classes, if you go through Christian homestudy's, they are usually free-of-cost.
